Nono

The last few months working with Nono sensei have been the most impactful moments in my Japanese language journey. The conversations were always highly relevant to my study needs (academic field, work, etc), and she was always great at altering the difficulty to accommodate my level, both in terms of talking speed and substance. I've gained a better understanding of the ebb and flow of Japanese communication, especially transition phrases, aizuchi, and rhythm. She has also been a huge help in coming up with specific conversation scenarios I am likely to find myself in during my travels. Most of all, she is by far the most patient and supportive tutor I have ever worked with, showing a genuine interest in my motivations for learning Japanese. I highly recommend booking a lesson with Nono sensei for those who wish to develop conversational skills but are worried about making mistakes, or for those who desire a more free flowing environment.

It was a lesson where I learned many words and useful information in studying the Japanese language, thank you.

Nono sensei is incredibly patient and understanding. She eased my nerves during our first iTalki lesson, and was able to find a good range of talking points for a beginner like me. For context, I can barely hold a conversation in Japanese and was terrified to schedule a tutoring session. Nono sensei was able to ask interesting questions and guide the lesson to help me speak as much Japanese as possible. She also helped steer the conversation towards words and phrases relevant to my learning goals. The overall atmosphere was fun, flexible, and respectful, perfect for those looking to practice speaking and listening early in their learning journey!

Nono is easy and fun to talk to! If you're nervous about booking a lesson, just do it! Looking forward to our next lesson :)

Nono is a fantastic and knowledgeable tutor! I highly recommend her for conversation practice. She will easily change the level of speech depending on how comfortable you are with Japanese. Thank you!

Very accommodating to my daughter’s level. Used my daughters interests to make creat an engaging lesson.
